Jameos del Agua

In the northern part of Lanzarote at the foot of the Corona volcano, whose last eruption was 3,000 years ago begins one of the most interesting systems of caves and tubes of the world. The Jameos (Lava bubble) forms, when the lava is hurrying down the ceiling of a tunnel, which usually happens when this one is wider than 20 meters, or, due to the accumulated gases that produce an explosion. In the Jameos they expose the presence of volcanic tubes. The Jameos del Agua was the first architectonic attraction designed by Caesar Manrique in 1968. Raising the wound stairs the next volcanic bubble, the Jameo Grande, 100 meters in length and 30 of wide, you arrive at a charming garden with ample swimming pool. Two bars in the niches of rocks have been constructed and the dance tracks give testimony that the Jameos are also used as a disco or night club. At the end of the Jameo Grande, towards the Monte Corona volcano, you find a wide open concert hall, with admirable acoustics and a great design.
